GVL meets DRM
Rajya Sabha member and BJP leader GVL Narasimha Rao, recently appointed as the East Coast Railway Users Consultative Committee member, has met DRM Sourabh Prasad and other railway officials and discussed various issues related to the division. He brought the issues being faced by travellers to the notice of the DRM. Narasimha Rao sought an increase of general coaches for trains originating from Visakhapatnam.
Seeking regularisation of the trains being run from Vizag to Bengaluru and Varanasi, the MP said he would pursue the matter if proposals were sent to the railway board. He also discussed the progress of works to modernise Duvvada, Simhachalam and Kothavalasa railway stations with Rs 70 crore sanctioned under the Amrut Bharat scheme.
Progress of works taken up for the development of Visakhapatnam Railway Station with Rs 450 crore has also come up for discussion during their meeting. The DRM has assured Narasimha Rao of looking into all the issues he raised and addressing the same.
